1st 16s Vs Maitland away

Slow start to the season so far & another difficult game , this time against Maitland BC who have been very consistent in recent years, On R6 1 was Gordon Wilson Snr & a welcome return of Mike Burns skipped by James Barr,the 4th member of this rink never turned up so they were always going to struggle losing a quarter of their score & they never quite got going but not for the lack of effort of these three bowlers, R5 saw Graeme Prentice,Walter Murray,Andy Reid and Ian Miller have a good game against a decent Maitland rink whose Skip it seemed could do no wrong on the night, R4 saw Skip young Gogs lead his troops , Ewan , Grant & Gaz H in a yo yo game, unfortunately losing a 4 and a 5 in the middle of this game was enough to make the difference and eventually after a hard fought last end which could easily have went either way the opposition were happy to lose a one at this end but win the game by a shot,the Northern stars on this disappointing night were on R3 lead by Daz P, another welcome returnee John Young , 3rd Davy Scott & valliantly Skipped by Jamie Reid, pretty tight game all the way here, at the last end Maitland had the advantage with a 2 shot lead but after a brilliant last end from all our lads we won the end with a terrific 3 and a very welcome 2 points, great effort all the Northern lads, Big game next week against our fellow strugglers Brunstane at the Northern.
